    The variance is the average of the squared differences from the mean. The standard deviation is the square root of the variance. So if you ever calculate the standard deviation, the variance is almost the last step of your calculation.

    Anyways ... the stddev is 17.6 and the variance is 309.8 (rounded). So really none of the answers match, but 309.2 is pretty close.

    First find the mean of these numbers

    = 51.833

    Then subtract this from each result and square the result. Then work out the average for these squared differences

    so we have 30 - 51.833 = - 21.833 and this squared = 476.68

    now do the same for the other 6 numbers and total up all the squares

    divide this total by 7 will give you the variance
